Liberals argue from 'heart of the gut'
"U.S. needs to end 'Bush's war' now." When I saw that title, I knew I had to read the article. And it was pure original genius.
Usually when you are making an argument for or against something you base your argument on facts or research, but Brian Washburn based his argument on the movie "Across the Universe." I'm glad he's getting back to the basics, because most liberals base all their arguments on recent movies or blogs.
Unlike the stupid republicans, liberals love to argue straight from the gut. Or is it the heart? Let's just say the heart of the gut.
"I propose we end the war in Iraq immediately." These bold, original words give me chills every time I read them. And everyone knows that when Bush is replaced by Hillary or Obama, the war will end immediately. We know this because the democrats always get the job done. Just take the current democrat-ruled congress for instance; some would say that they are the best, most effective congress ever.
"Ending the war...could also save the U.S. economy." This is so true. Just take a look at the stock market. It's been breaking records, but I'm sure Bush is just making it look that way.
If you're a liberal like me, then you know that fighting terrorism is a lot easier than the current administration is making it out to be. There are only like a handful of terrorists who do not represent Islam or Allah in any way. If we just go over there and talk to them, then everything will work out.
Why can't Bush or any stupid republican see this? War is not the answer. If we bomb them and torture them, then they will bomb and torture us. Long story short: We started it all.

Nick... I love sarcasm more than oxygen, but political satire should usually have a point behind it more than just insulting your opponents. Otherwise it gets old really fast. (Continued…)

I dislike republicans too, but can't you think of a better adjective than "stupid."
